VIDEO GAME TO MONITOR VISUAL FIELD LOSS IN GLAUCOMA

摘要

Systems and methods for providing a video game to map a test subject's peripheral vision comprising a moving fixation point that is actively confirmed by an action performed by the test subject and a test for the subject to locate a briefly presented visual stimulus. The video game is implemented on a hardware platform comprising a video display, a user input device, and a video camera. The camera is used to monitor ambient light level and the distance between the device and the eyes of the test subject. The game serves as a visual field test that produces a visual field map of the thresholds of visual perception of the subject's eye that may be compared with age-stratified normative data. The results may be transmitted to a health care professional by telecommunications means to facilitate the diagnosis and/or monitoring of glaucoma or other relevant eye diseases.
